Seven years have passed since Mordecai's battle with the Shining God, Celior, and since that time his control of his abilities has vastly improved. He has at last envisioned a use for the 'God-Stone', but the gods want vengeance and now seek to destroy everything he has built. The secrets of the past threaten the future of his kingdom, his family, and perhaps humanity itself, unless Mordecai can discover the meaning of 'Illeniel's Doom'. How far will a desperate wizard go to protect his children... or will his efforts merely damn them all? Love this series! Imprisoning gods with pure luck, transporting, mysterios dead race that resembles elves, nefarious ancestor curses, zombies, paladin knights, and archmages! What more does one need? As expected, Manning weaves a convoluted tapestry of narrative that is infinitely appealing. This entry in the mageborn series illustrates how the unassuming proses aided readers in delving into the story. No barriers of vocabulary, metaphors or grammar to interfere with comprehension.This book made me realise the value of simple, plain and forthright storytelling. It still irks me sometimes that he uses contemporary metaphors, swear-words and description. It forces me to engage my imagination to wade past his stylistic choices and just enjoy the story.And what a magnificent story it is. It has been a pleasure to witness Mordecai's life and just as thought it is now on a linear progression, Manning infuses a new complexity that will add a new dimension to our young Illeniel's story. I look forward to the next entry and the prequel.
